Jeff Sneider of The InSneider is reporting that Pascal has dropped out of Weapons. That film is from Zach Cregger, director of Barbarian. Coming up in February, Pascal will be getting into production on The Last of Us Season 2.

Fantastic Four was initially set to begin filming in April. Now, the production of the MCU film has been pushed to the third quarter of 2024.

As of the time of this writing, Fantastic Four is set for a May 2, 2025 release date. With the filming being pushed back, it doesn't seem likely that it can make that release date. But we will see what Disney and Marvel Studios decide to do.
